And Garth, ever gnomic, uttered: "What would it feel like to have the leverage of long cranks yet still be able to spin like short ones ? Lo and behold ... this came to my mind to try and it's better than I even imagined !!! "
O, unfathomable Garth: explain thyself to us of mere mortal ken: how, exactly, dost thou get long-crank leverage while you spin like short ones? 152s? Really? or was this an April Fools' joke that got held up? Me, I found that 175s on a low gear were horribly annoying to spin and got rid of them. I use 170s, more or less, on everything.
